Here's how it works.

The full lottery has a value of $113,000,000. and is paid over 26 years with equal annual payments of $4,346,153. The Feds will take a 35% tax or $1,521,153. leaving the winner with a net $2,825,000.

The winner may opt to take a one time cash payout, in this case $70,000,000. Again the Feds will take a 35% tax or $24,500,000 leaving the winner a net $45,500,000.

The media always gets it wrong.

Now see, everybody? That's class! And why I LOVE this man!

We did not quite get all the numbers right. Sorry. At least no one else did, so the cash jackpot goes to $82,800,000.00 on Tuesday and this bubba will have tickets. Hang in there Marlow and the same for the Learjet 60 salesman.

There's something heady about cruising along at 51,000 feet at mach .81 in your own Learjet sipping a very dry martini headed to Florida to drop off Marlow's early retirment check. Makes me feel right warm.

It's gonna start getting even warmer if 'we' don't hurry up and win. I've already started the spending spree, so you've got a couple more weeks before the first credit card bill comes due. :twisted:
